Nervy but a brilliant pass followed by excellent control and a strikers instinct from our DM saved the day.

3pts is what we needed, 3pts is what we got.

Really worried about mustafi now, he's not the best but he is a CB and we are running out of those quickly...

Torreira saved Auba's ass.

In terms of the selection, there are a lot of injuries. Unlike our last manager, I trust this one to make the right decisions.
Proper manager who knows football - at last.

Miki is coming on

Monreal has filled in very effectively at CB, so has Xhaka.

when you have xhaka there all the time... they know hes slow... and one footed... and likely to panic

I did not answer this right away because I did not want to jinx it. Yes, Xhaka still makes mistakes, but not many teams can beat us with high press tactic this season even if they can steal a goal this way. We are physically and mentally ready for this.

I’d rather give Mkhitaryan’s 200k p/w to Tommy Robinson than him

Haven't we been linked to that cm from Dortmund. Probably more to do with Ramsey's departure than anything tho.

What's with the obsession with playing 5 at the back lately?
As bad as he can be, we should recall Chambers and play 4 at the back.

There is no recall clause in Calum's contract.

We have to buy in Jan, it's too much or a risk unless they throw in mavrapos eventually. What's up with him anyway? Is he injured?
